telling you why... Santa Claus,
or rather a bundle of them,
are coming to town!
London saw an invasion
of the Christmassy kind on
13 November 2008, when

a sleighful of Santas crashlanded in the capital for the
10th Santa Training School
at the ODEON Leicester
Square. Prior to taking their
seats for the welcome video
(which was then followed
by a series of seminars), the
Father Christmas wannabes

posed for a collection of snaps.
We just wonder who they’re
calling? Mrs. Claus? Rudolph?
Dudley Moore?
Merry Christmas everyone!
Feeling festive? Then don’t miss the
naughty but nice Office Christmas
Party starring Jennifer Aniston.
It’s in cinemas from 6 December!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in London’s Leicester Square!
